Needless to say, I'm getting Pokémon Snap! the minute it comes out, online sharing or not! But online picture sharing just makes it double-sweet!! And from the ideas thrown out here, I second the ideas of being able to skin your Wii interface, and introducing achievements to all Wii games, including VC titles. That has been a strong selling point of most Xbox 360 games...

“Sounds exciting right? Right?! No, of course it doesn’t”

“Of course” it doesn’t? Where do you get off acting like you represent Nintendo fans across the world? Not everyone’s so jaded. Some of us are quite easily amused….otherwise why would be emptying our wallets every time a new Pokémon game comes along that recycles the same ideas as the last dozen or so titles in the series? I know I’m far from the only person who has fond memories of writing funny captions for Pokémon photos and sharing them with the rest of my family. Could you be more arrogant than to call a feature boring when you know darn well that Japanese Pokémon are going to go nuts over it? What works for Nintendo fans over there should work just as well here, and if it doesn’t, then WE’RE the ones with problems–not Nintendo. Sharing funny Poké(note the accent mark)mon snapshots with other Pokémon fans sounds like a blast–IF you thought the original game was a blast, which apparently a lot of people do otherwise they wouldn’t be releasing it, would they?

Because Pokemon Snap is a play-only-once game. After you beat it, it’s boring.

All of this sounds great, but why aren’t more people excited about Pokemon Snap. That should be a major VC title.

@ Soup:
I also enjoyed the co-op of double dash. I even went and got two broadband adapters and played double dash with 8 people. Not the best investment I’ve ever made, since we only played 8 players one time

I think they should offer updates on Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time to support widescreen!

what about patches for gamecube games? Sure, they’re more recent, and might not be possible depending on how the Wii handles Gamecube emulation(or however they do it), but I’d love to finally get some Dual Dash with more than four people/two cars.

Or am I the only one that enjoyed the co-op nature of Double Dash?

I like this idea, indeed, but it makes me think of another idea.

I wish you could skin the Wii Channel. I’d love nothing more than for my Wii Channel to have a classic, gray NES look with that famous black stripe and the red Nintendo logo. Or better still, a classic Gameboy skin where all of the channels, instead of being full-color images, could be that old green color of the GB screen. Oh, nostalgia.

I’m dreaming, of course. I doubt they’ll ever do this for us. But seriously, they could charge some Wii Points for a pack of Channel Skins, and have several themed packs, perhaps releasing a new one each week. I know I’d buy.

Oh, how awesome that would be.
